CodeHawk is an AI code review tool for development teams, focused on automatically finding issues before Pull Requests (PRs) are merged, helping teams improve code quality and security.
Purpose CodeHawk's core purpose is automated PR review. It can automatically trigger a review when a PR is opened, complete the analysis within seconds, and post inline comments directly on the relevant lines of code, pointing out issues that need attention and reducing omissions caused by manual review oversights and fatigue.
Main capabilities
- Instant review: Comments are automatically posted as soon as a PR is opened, with no manual trigger and no waiting required.
- Inline comments: Comments appear directly on the corresponding lines of code, similar to how manual review is presented, with clear context and less noise.
- Security vulnerability detection: It can identify injection vulnerabilities, insecure patterns, and common OWASP issues, providing warnings before code is merged.
- Multi-language support: It supports languages such as TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, and Java, and can review any code hosted on GitHub.
- Configurable severity levels: Through the .codehawk.yml configuration file, you can adjust which issues are flagged and how they are flagged.
- Underlying model: Powered by Anthropic's Claude model, which has strong capabilities in code understanding.
How to use
- Install CodeHawk from the GitHub Marketplace with one click, authorize it for your organization, and select the repositories to review.
- Open a Pull Request, and CodeHawk will immediately receive the webhook and begin analyzing the diff.
- Within seconds, issues will appear as inline comments on the specific lines of code that need attention.
- Fix the flagged issues, merge the code when confident, and repeat this process on every subsequent PR.
Use cases Suitable for development teams that need to review a large number of PRs every day, especially in scenarios where they want to automatically catch common issues such as security vulnerabilities, null pointer dereferences, and unhandled errors without increasing the burden of manual review.
Pricing and limitations The official introduction provides a simple pricing explanation, including a free plan with 3 PR reviews per month, as well as a paid plan that includes unlimited PR reviews, configuration via .codehawk.yml, and priority support.
